Spring? We've sprung!

The first day of Spring and it feels like we have hit the ground running. Harrybrooke Park is lit with bright sunshine as the wake-up call to the entire place saying "It's SHOWTIME!" I have to say, boy is it ever. We have loads to do and can't wait to dive in. The last 6-8 months have been quite challenging and let me share a bit of what's going on. 

I have recently spoken with our friends at Candlewood Valley Country Club (just across the lovely Still River) who are facing many of the challenges that we are. Since Labor Day we have faced 8 floods of the park and many of them froze over. Tremendous amounts of water and ice can truly cause damage and they have. It will take us some time to recover and we ask for your patience in this process. 

The good news? Well I'm so very glad you asked!

• We will be repairing the crossover road by the pond in the coming weeks.
  
• We expect to complete the paving on the river trail this Spring.
  
•  Trees! We have had some severe tree damage in this time and cleanup is ongoing.
• Final construction details on peacock shed are being completed for their arrival. 
• Patio furniture is being returned for Museum events. STUNNING!

This is a taste of what's in store in the next couple months. It's not everything but it's a start and we are excited to see ALL of the park bloom, in so many different ways. This is the time of year that fires us up. The awakening. The re-birth. The return from slumber. Welcome back to Harrybrooke Park.
